300!

No, not the movie. This is my 300th post. Amazing, really! To celebrate, I made a little something to giveaway. I want to thank all of you who come here on a regular basis. Those who leave comments and even those who don’t. I’m the worst at leaving comments, so I totally get it.

I had an idea of what I wanted to give away, but wasn’t quite sure how it would turn out. I’m pleased to say that I’m thrilled with the outcome. So much in fact, that I almost want to keep it for myself, but I won’t. So, with no more ado, here it is.

I made for one lucky reader of my blog this adorable tote with vintage lace. Eight different kinds of vintage lace to be exact. It’s fully lined and has a long strap for wearing over your shoulder as Sally Ann here is modeling it.

But wait, “what’s that tucked inside?” you ask.

Why it’s the the new and super awesome magazine, Flea Market Style. I know a lot of people already have this, but many haven’t been able to find it yet. No matter. Here it is.

All you have to do is leave a comment on this post. I will pick a winner on Wednesday morning.

Again, thanks to you all for making my blogging experience these last 2 1/2 plus years so much fun. I have met many incredible people through my blog, have made some lasting friendships and am inspired on a daily basis by all the wonderfulness in this fabulous blogging community.

Have a great week! It’s going to be a busy one getting my formerly blue haired girl off to Costa Rica for Spring Break. (The blue hair went bye-bye for now, it’s now dark, dark brown, almost black. I told her I miss the blue as it was always easy to spot her when we go thrifting together.)

Okay, I'm drooling now! The vintage lace tote is sooo pretty, and the the flea market magazine exactly fits my Kentucky cottage look. Congratulations on 300 posts - quite a dedicated endeaver. I know because I am lax in posting lately to my own blog. Guess I'm spending way too much time reading other blogs. LOL Now, my fingers are crossed for my name to be drawn.

Oohhh!How beautiful! I adore lace and there is lots of lovely lace to adore on your bag.If you would post to Australia (If I would be so lucky to win)I would love love love to enter your drawer...oh I don't mean draw...oh it is getting worse, I mean I would love to enter your çompetition'Kiss Noises Linda Lilly Cottage

Oh my gosh! This isn't just ol' store bought lace -- this is hand crocheted lace! And 8 rows of it. I love it. The bag is really wonderful. Oh, and congrats on 300 blogs. I do depend on you to entertain me everyday. I'm so disappointed when you skip a day (pathetic me). When you show us what you found shopping, it's like I went out and found it. Thanks for the good times and... (pick me, pick me, pick me...)

Wow! am TOTALLY loving that tote! Count me in! Congrats on 300 posts - I have just finally bit the bullet and started one of my own, now to figure out how to "left align" my list of blogs I follow! Yours and Isabel's are top of the list - the first ones I hunt up. I hope you don't mind, but I just have to paint one of my sewing boxes like yours with the roses on the bottom - LOVE it! Now to get to 30 posts, never mind 300! Congrats again and sure wish I lived in your neck of the woods-Wanda in NH

300 posts, thats awesome, what a milestone! Congratulations! And what a great idea for using vintage lace, the tote is fabulous. I'd love to read the magazine as well, we can't get it here in the UK. Fingers crossed.

Congrats on the 300! Love the tote! Also, I spotted pretty liners for carts? I shall have to hunt for these on your blog. I've been meaning to make one of my own, but it's been a to-do project for over a year....
